Re: "Thanks for the info. I find it amusing that chip vendors try to blame all soft error problems on cosmic rays. By blaming cosmic rays they absolve themselves from the blame for not cleaning up the contaminants in chip packaging"

The potential for the packaging material to induce soft errors due to alpha particle emissions was first pointed out by Gordon Moore many years ago. Just giving credit where credit is due.
